Perhaps you are here because you need relief from your pain and disparagement and you long for the joy and peace you see others living with. Grief, trauma, anxiety, broken relationships, and disconnection with those you love most is exhausting. With more than just relief for your symptoms, I believe that you can overcome your current difficulties, redefine your relationships, and cultivate the best version of yourself. There has been much research garnered around neuroscience, trauma, and attachment that gives us insight into real interventions and strategies to help individuals heal, grow, and live in a place of discovery and hope.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious or stuck? Disconnected from family, friends or even yourself? Experiencing unfamiliar and uncomfortable feelings after an event or life transition? Feeling unfulfilled in life? If so, you are not alone. We often find ourselves engaging in the same repetitive behaviours and relationships that prevent us from achieving our goals and commitments in life. However, with the support and guidance of a counsellor, you can begin to make changes that will generate momentum in your life.

I have been counselling for more than 30 years. I want to inspire you to create and live your best life. Are there ideas you hold or patterns you have that are holding you back? I strive to collaborate with you to find limitations or blocks and build a positive framework for finding your way through what may be a difficult time. Sometime we need to evaluate our thought patterns, our boundaries, our guilt, and our limited thinking to reveal what we truly need to find happiness. I want to help you find the strength to build your vision of harmonious relationships, a career with passion, and a life which feeds your soul.

With over 25 years working directly with youth and families in a variety of mental health settings, I have seen how life can disrupt building meaningful connections with ourselves and others. My passion is to help you reconnect with yourself and those important to you, whether it’s your kids, your partner, or friends. Together we can build an empowering space that supports you to show up in ways that align with your true self. As a mom of two adult kids, I also enjoy supporting parents and helping them with fostering secure attachments with their child, navigating conflict, and looking closely at how your needs as a parent are met.

You deserve and need more connection and joy in your primary relationship. You want better communication so you can stop having the same arguments over and over again. All relationships have times when connection is easy, passion is alive, and love abounds, but also times when trust is broken, regrettable incidents linger, and friendship is barely possible.

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
